Title: Classic Whip vs Bushbow
Post by: Tradcat on September 26, 2015, 08:46:00 AM
I have narrowed my next bow down to these two models. I know the classic whip has more R/D than the bushbow. I also know that the Bushbow has wider limbs and is closer to a flat bow than the narrow deep cored limbs of the Classic Whip. Please help me break the tie by giving me your pros & cons and why you would choose one over the other...  Thanks

Tough call there...

I've shot the BB and like it a lot..espeacially the straight handle.

Never had the chance to shot a Whip...but from what I've read I'm sure I would like it as well.

I'm curious as to what others say also.
Never shot a bush bow but I've owned a Whip and can't imagine a bow being better.  Different but not better.

Both nice bows, but I think you are comparing apples to oranges. Two totally different bow styles. I had a Bush bow and liked it a lot. I think you might get better performance from the Whip......if that's important to you.

Agree with Ron...two different animals.  I shot Bushbows pretty much exclusively for a decade and loved them, but when I started dropping weight a bit, I switched to a Lil Creep...sort of a tweener; little more r/d and a more narrow limb than the Bushbow, but not quite as distinct as a Whip.  I prefer straight grips and love the Jackknife takedown, so the Creep works for me.

I have shot and owned a BB but I have no experience shooting the classic whip. Wanted the feedback from fellow Tradganger's who have either shot or owned both models for a side by side comparison to help me make what I already know will be a tough call... Help !

I picked up a classic whip on trade. Made the deal based on reviews of the whip.  I have not been disappointed.   Easy drawing bow very quiet dead in the hand and points very well.  I just got done shooting my classic. 47  @ 28
